I saw this post and wanted to interject. Vette442, please correct me if I'm wrong.

ST (Style Type) 72 (1972 Model Year) 3 (GM Division - Oldsmobile) 3G77 (I believe the G is actually a 6; if so then 3677 is a Cutlass "S" 2 door Sport Coupe - both the 442 and W30 options were available for the "S") G (Framingham, MA Plant) 89470 BDY (Production Serial Number)

TR (Trim Number) 940 (Black Vinyl Interior) A52 (Bench Seat) 53 53 (Saturn Gold - First number is upper body paint, second is lower) PNT (Paint Code)

04B (Build Date is set for 2nd Week of April, 1972)

Your car's MSRP was approximately $3,026.00 upon date of manufacture.

If your car is indeed a true 442 it is a rare car indeed. In 1972 there were 9,845 442's produced. The breakdown of 442's in '72 are as follows:

code 3287 Cutlass Hardtop Coupe - 751
code 3677 Cutlass S club coupe - 123 (I suspect that the sport and club are one and the same)
code 3687 Cutlass S hardtop coupe - 7,800
code 4267 Cutlass Supreme Convertible - 1,171

Total 9,845.

If I'm right, yours is one of about 123. :-) Lucky bastard.

If anyone else wants to confirm or deny this, please do. I haven't used this info in a long time and I might be off. Let me know either way. Build sheet would definitely be useful. I could probably calculate your original purchase price within $5 if you produced it. If you had an engine or transmission code they would both also be helpful.

Let me know how your Olds works out.
